A New Haven, Connecticut-based worker training organization is getting $3.45 million in state funding to expand a program to grow the workforce in the manufacturing sector. Funds will be used to build upon a program launched in February at Gateway Community College that took 19 unemployed and underemployed workers and provided them with an intensive five-week training course. "Every single one of them had a job before they graduated," said William Villano, president and CEO of Workforce Alliance. "This (is) a good program for people that want to change careers or high school graduates who aren't going to college."
